Martial Arts Opened My Eyes

       Since I have started this class, I have seen the effects of the training in everything else I do. When I play basketball, I see that I can run faster and I am more flexible. I never thought I could improve as much as I did. Today we went more indepth for the kata, which I hope to learn to do without any help. I think it is important because it teaches the basics and it is all still very effective. I never thought that pointing your fist downwards would increase the strength behind a punch. On a lighter note, I know to never cross my arms in front of Sensei because that means I am challenging him and challenging him means losing or broken bones. Lol
